Fema chief warns dangerous' Trump falsehoods hampering Helene response
Briefly

"It's frankly disappointing we are having to deal with this narrative, the fact there are a few leaders having a hard time telling the difference between fact and fiction is creating an impedance to our ability to actually get people the help they need," said Deanne Criswell, administrator of FEMA.
"Such claims are frankly ridiculous and creating a truly dangerous narrative that is creating this fear among affected people," Criswell added, expressing grave concerns over misinformation hampering recovery efforts.
Trump’s allegations imply that the Biden administration has prioritized migrants over disaster relief. He stated, 'They stole the FEMA money, just like they stole it from a bank,' implying financial misconduct.
In multiple rallies, Trump claimed that the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Helene are largely Republican, suggesting that the Democratic administration's response was politically motivated and unfair.
